Walls available to Plus Users

Can we have use of Walls please on a Plus account.. Drawing them all in manually is quite ridiculous. Thanks, Rich.

Unclear what you are asking for. Are you asking for the Walls API script to be built into the Roll20 engine? You can suggest it in the suggestion forum, but it would need an awful lot of interest from both the userbase and the dev team, since Walls is not even a standalone API script, requiring an external SVG parser.
I dont care how it is implemented. I have a plus account and it appears I have to put walls in manually. That is the issue.

I have a Pro account and I still put in walls manually. How do you envision this working? How would the code know what is a wall, a door, a secret door, rubble, a pillar, a table, other furniture and so forth? FWIW, all modules produced by Roll20 have DL lines pre-installed where appropriate.
For a while there was a site that was providing the data for the walls script to work with, those files were "HYUGE", I have no idea how they were created.

That site (and script) still exist. The ability to manipulate external data and create something in-game requires the API. The Aaron has written a script that works with exactly one source, Dungeondraft, a site that builds maps and offers an export file. It would not work for any map from any other source. (Unless they support the Universal VTT format, which despite its name only includes Dungeondraft to my knowledge). Even the Walls script on its own requires substantial prep work on the part of a user in an image processing program and an eternal SVG interpreter. Having a system that just takes any map image and builds DL lines would be nice, sure. But I have no idea how it would work. TL;DR: Subscribe at the Pro level and you can have access to a couple of scripts which make the process easier for some subset of maps.
